Struggling with Recruitment or Ethics Approval?
Many research teams face delays in participant recruitment, retention, or ethics committee approval.
A major reason is that Patient Information Sheets (PIS) and Informed Consent Forms (ICF) are often written in technical language that patients struggle to understand.
Both ethics committees and the HRA now actively recommend patient engagement reviews as part of ethical requirements. Our structured public involvement review process helps you meet these expectations while creating clear, patient-centred documents.
With extensive experience across therapeutic areas, our specialists deliver expert PPIE Services that improve comprehension, support faster approvals, and help your trials run smoothly.
➡️ We also offer a free introductory consultation to discuss your specific needs.
Key Benefits of Our PPIE Services
